Favourite books

These are a few of my all-time favourite books! As you can see, I’m a huge fan of general fiction. My greatest enjoyment of reading is for escapism. I love to get lost in imagination, adventure, mystery, and sentiment.

My favourite authors as a young kid were by Dr Seuss, Roald Dahl, Margaret Mahy, and Enid Blyton. As I grew older I went through phases of Choose Your Own Adventure, The Famous Five, Paul Jennings, Maurice Gee, and The Three Investigators. Later, after a period of reading solely high school horror, I discovered Agatha Christie and Stephen King. As an adult, I broadened my range again but the authors I grew up reading will always hold special memories.

Here is a collection of my favourite books. This is by no means an exhaustive list!
